It is the cause of liquid petroleum hydrocarbon released in the water or on land. Oil spills are hard to clean up depending on the type of oil and it takes weeks, months or even years.
The actual pollutants associated with the source (list)
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria which is anaerobic
General Aerobic Bacteria is aerobic
Oil contains many things such as petroleum hydrocarbons, metals, naturally occurring radioactive materials, salt, and deadly toxic chemicals. These chemicals prevent plants to grow because they get into the soil and pollute it.

Though there haven’t been many oil spills recently, all the past oil spills have been ruining the fishing industry. The oil spills also resulted in huge economic losses; every time oil gets spilled, the gas prices go up. The best way to fix this problem is to start producing more electric cars.

Ruins the plumage of birds which inables them to fly and avoid predators. When the birds also intake the oil, this can cause kidney damage, and only less than one percents of birds survive after they are cleaned.
